I'm getting a lot of information that many stations have cut-back full-timers to less than 40 hours per week and have continued to hire numerous part-timers as fast as they can come in, work a month, and then quit.
This is classic Weasel behavior, as in Fred never gives anything without taking at least an equal amount back. One courier I talked with today said he was down an average of 18 hours per week, and wasn't even getting 40, so he has lost considerably, even though his station was brought up to the market level of the surrounding stations and got a raise.
If anyone complains, FedEx will immediately point out all that they did for him, and label him as a "bad attitude" employee. This guy was pure Purple, and now he's very angry and wants a union. Good luck with that.
The Weasel giveth nothing that he cannot taketh away.
